- To say that you like something use: suki desu (pronounced ski).
- To say that you don't like something use: kirai desu.
- For example: Ebi ga suki desu. = I like shrimp.
- Maguro ga kirai. = I don't like tuna.
- Note that we usually use ga with these words. More explanation on ga soon!
- The negative of `desu',to be, is `ja arimasen'. The negative of `hima desu',
- to have free time is `hima ja arimasen'- `to be busy'. The negative of
- `oishii desu', it is delicious, is `oishii ja arimasen'- `it is not
- delicious.'

- Wa, ga, and mo are similair but are used slightly differently. The details
- of wa and ga are well beyond the scope of this lesson. We use wa or ga
- to specify the subject of a clause. Ga is exclusionary. It implies one thing
- only. Wa is possibly exclusionary. It means this thing and maybe others.
- Mo means also. Examples are in the folllowing questions.
- The months of the year in Japanese are very easy. We merely add the word
- `gatsu' onto the end of the number corresponding to the month. For example
- January is ichi-gatsu. Febuary is ni-gatsu. March is san-gatsu.
- June is roku-gatsu. October is ju-gatsu.
